Nicole has been by Luke’s side since the very beginning. Even before he became a sensation in the country music world, she saw something special in him.

The pair first met in 2016 during a Key West Songwriters Festival in Florida. Combs was present at the festival as a performer while Nicole was working with BMI, who served as the host of the event.

“I didn’t have anything going on when we met,” Luke explained during an appearance on the podcast Couple Things with Shawn Johnson and Andrew East. “I didn’t have a record deal or a publishing deal or anything.”

Nicole then revealed that she was the one to make the first move. 

“I was leaving a songwriters round and he was walking up late to it and I was just like, ‘hey, come hang out with us, why are you by yourself?,” she recalled. 

Looking back, Luke can laugh at the fact that he may not have looked his best in the moment.

“Yeah, I looked bad too… I was wearing camo gym shorts from Walmart… classy, classy stuff. And like the oldest t-shirt that I owned, probably,” he admitted. 

Shortly after this encounter, the couple began dating and then officially tied the knot on August 1, 2020. Fans got to witness portions of their special day through Luke Combs’ music video for his chart-topping hit, “Forever After All.”  

Luke and Nicole expanded their family on June 19, 2022 when they welcomed a son, Tex Lawrence. They shared the news with fans via social media alongside a loving family photo. 

“Welp he decided that Father’s Day would be a good time to show up. I couldn’t agree more. Me and @nicolejcombs are over the moon in love with this little guy,” he wrote at the time. “Mama and baby are healthy and we’re back home now with family. Life is good. Everyone welcome Tex Lawrence Combs to the world!”

Less than a year later, they revealed an exciting surprise – Baby No. 2 is on the way. Taking to Instagram, they posted a series of heartwarming family photos that featured their firstborn son wearing a “big brother” onesie.

“Joining the 2 under 2 club! Baby boy #2 coming this September,” Luke and Nicole shared in the caption of a joint Instagram post.

While walking the red carpet, Nicole was seen smiling from ear to ear as she debuted her baby bump alongside Combs, who spoke to Entertainment Tonight about the excitement and stress that comes along with welcoming another member into their family. This can be an especially difficult task when they already have a 10-month-old son, Tex Lawrence, to keep up with at home. 

“Two under two is gonna be interesting,” Combs told the outlet. “We got it though. I’m excited.”

“And the one day it’ll be two of ’em, right?” He joked. “It’s not much time to worry about anything when you got a 10-month-old at home.”
